Other Ways to Give

Your generosity can have double or triple the impact. Many companies match employee contributions to charitable organizations, and some even match gifts made by retirees, spouses, and/or board members. Some companies also provide volunteer grants in recognition of an employee’s volunteer work. To find out if you work for a matching gift company, search our corporate matching gift database and inquire with your employer about volunteer grants. Payroll deductions are another easy way to show your support of AGBU and can be set up through your employer.

A minimum gift of $10,000 establishes a permanent fund in the name of the donor or in memory/honor of a loved one. Donors may designate their gift towards a specific program, which will benefit from the yearly income, in perpetuity. To set-up an endowment, please contact AGBU at 212-319-6383.

Making a Difference

“MAP was an incredibly exciting experience, being not only my first time in Armenia, but my first time leaving the United States. Armenia was a place I had heard so much about from my family, church and Armenian classes, so to see the country with my own eyes was quite rewarding.”

Making a Difference

“As someone who identifies as Lebanese as much as Armenian, working with Syrians has helped wear away at the negative perceptions I had of the country and its involvement during the Lebanese Civil War and Lebanon’s current political predicament. When I speak with refugees, recruit and train them, I feel like I’m building a connection with the people needing assistance and support.”

Making a Difference

“My biggest accomplishment is touching people’s emotions through music. My grandfather used to tell me that musicians should be an example of ethics for society. The older I got, the more I started to understand what he really meant.”
